  • Leave any wiki that lists you as a member
  • View recent changes for your favorite wikis
  • Add wikis to your favorites list by typing the first part of the wiki's name into the Add a Wiki to this list field and selecting it from the dropdown list
  • Remove wikis from your favorites list with the Actions dropdown menu

Details

  • Username: You can change your Wikispaces username once every 30 days. Keep in mind that every Wikispaces username must be unique. Try using numbers, or initials, or a first name-last name combination to create a unique username.
  • Date joined
  • Email: You can also come here to confirm or change your email address.
  • Password: You can come here to change your password.
  • Delete Account: This will delete your user account, but NOT any wikis that list you as creator or organizer. Once your account is deleted, you won't have the permission to delete those wikis. If you would also like to delete your wikis, make sure you have deleted them before you delete your account.

Profile

  • Picture
  • Profile: You default profile includes how long your account has been open, how many edits and posts you have logged, and the wikis that list you as a member. But you can edit this page just like any other wiki page to include any information you would like.

Header and footer

 The header of your user dashboard gives you two options that you won't find when you're visiting a wiki:
  • Create a New Wiki
  • Search: This lets you search for a word or phrase through all the wikis on Wikispaces that are viewable to the public. The search will return any page, file, or wiki that uses the search term.
